Where / which
1. This is only one instance which/where it was not safe to eat genetically engineered foods.
2. Sometimes this caregiving occurs in three-generation households which/where the oldest generation contributes to the household economy.
3. Air transportation is an essential ingredient of tourism development, especially at an international scale which/where destination choices may be constrained by time.
All the answers provided by my book is 'where'. I don't know how to understand and teach this. (My book says the reason the answers are where is the parts after where are complete clauses)

Hi,
I'm preparing an exam to be a public school English teacher. I found I need some strategies to teach English other than things I had done to learn English only for myself.
